Monday, 13 April 2026 · 1 min read

North Korea announced on Tuesday that it test-fired two strategic cruise missiles and three anti-warship missiles from the destroyer Choe Hyon on Sunday, with leader Kim Jong-un overseeing the launches. State media agency KCNA reported that Kim declared the military's "strategic action preparedness" had been strengthened and called for the country's nuclear war deterrent to be "steadily and unlimitedly" expanded. The tests signal Pyongyang's continued push to develop both its naval strike capabilities and broader nuclear arsenal, raising fresh concerns among regional powers and the international community.
